Esteban Baez
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Fate Shifter podcast. My name is Esteban Baez, and today, together with Martin Altherr, we're going to be discussing the self-transformation code. Hi, Martin. How's it going?
Martin Altherr
It's going great. Thank you very much. How are you doing?
Esteban Baez
I'm doing fantastic, man. I'm very happy to meet with you today to talk about the self-transformation code. I just got back from Orlando, a four-day event. It was great, and I'm just happy to be here.
Martin Altherr
Awesome!
Esteban Baez
So let's go ahead and talk about the self-transformation code. What is the self-transformation code?
Martin Altherr
Okay, the self-transformation code is something I found out for myself after actually a quite disastrous happening. As you maybe remember, in the very, very first podcast we did, we were talking about my story and how I came to all and how I came to doing this all, what I'm doing nowadays.
And that was the one moment when I was in this devastating situation, getting from the doctors the information that my son is maybe not going to turn 20. And then just the floor opened and I fell in the free fall, right?
I was depressed, and I was in such a horrible situation, I could not really take responsibility for my life anymore. And of course, through a process, I came to that point saying yes to death, which empowered me also to say yes to life equally.
Esteban Baez
Martin, before you continue, tell us, our listeners, and our viewers a little bit more about your story with your son, because a lot of them may have not listened to that part.
And if you haven't, just go back and look for Martin's story ("Saying Yes to Life In The Face of Adversity" episode #1) so you can hear it.
But Martin, can you give a brief recap of what you were going through during that time emotionally?
Martin Altherr
Okay, I gladly do. It was like this...
When we came back, actually from holidays in the Maldives where our son severely got sick and we were four weeks in the hospital there. And then finally we got the allowance to fly because it was attacking his lungs. And when the lungs are attacked, you are not allowed to fly because of the oxygen problem. Right?
When we came back, then he suddenly had a big abscess on his back, which was absolutely unusual for a child of this age. And then the doctors got kind of a feeling there must be something really severely wrong. And that was what it was.
It was then septic granulomatosis, which is a genetic defect where the child cannot defeat the bacteria and the mold. So that is why the doctors came into that room that day and told us, listen, we don't know if your son is going to turn 20. And he was a toddler three years old at that time.
So you can imagine how I felt. I mean, it's like the ground opens and you get into a free fall. I mean, it was fighting with God. Fighting with myself, fighting being a bad father not good enough, fighting not being a good husband.
The whole thing just broke into pieces in my life. And that brought me really to that devastating moment of being absolutely in depression, not able anymore, doing anything productive properly.
Esteban Baez
Okay, so that's where you were. Wow, that's tough. Yes, that's tough for any parent.
Martin Altherr
And then from that specific moment on, of course, I got also then finally help. I mean, I decided then from a certain point on that I have to do something, I had to get help. And I got help.
And there I learned so much that I came to the point to say yes to death. And this was like an enlightening moment for me and my life. Because at that moment I understood also to say yes to life equally.
But that was actually not the real thing that brought me to the self-transformation code. Then later the thing that brought me there was this absolute in-a-blink-of-an-eye transformation, There was therapy, but then there was one decision that made a huge transformation in my life from 100% depressed, from absolutely devastated, to 100% empowered and absolutely clear in my path.
That was amazingly impacting me.
Like the first message, right?
The first brought me down, the second brought me up. But then I was so much interested in how is this possible. Is there any technique out there? Is there any method out there that can do that?
And I was of course asking that time, my therapist, and she said no, she don't know anything like that. She was also very surprised about my transformation. And so I started to search on my own and then I was immediately of course applying to study psychology and et cetera.
I had this jewelry business at that time and I learned and learned, but whatever I learned and whatever method I got my nose into, I had the feeling it was not giving me that fast transformation and... but...
I was continuously searching and learning here, learning there, going to the founders of methods like Bert Hellinger in the family constellation work. I was also studying NLP, Autogenic Training, etc.
I mean, a lot of stuff, I just soaked it in like a sponge to find this method that gives fast transformation. The way I experienced it the first time, but I didn't find it.
Then life brought me to the point where I knew so much about psychology and about methods and I had so many methods on board that I said: "Hey, that could be my calling, that could be what I really want to do in life because I could open a praxis now."
I opened that to my that time wife and said: "Hey, listen, I want to open a praxis."
And she said: "If you go that path, then I cannot follow you. We just have now this situation with our son. You have built up the jewelry business to a very good point, and now you just want to start something new. I cannot follow you here, and if you go that way, I want the divorce."
Esteban Baez
So she gave you... She gave you an ultimatum.
Martin Altherr
Yes, she said either or...
Esteban Baez
Exactly.
Martin Altherr
And I had to measure then, is that my calling, truly? Would I put this in the balance to figure out what I'm going to do next? And I said, yes, it is my calling. It is my urge. I feel it. I feel it really to the bones.
You know, there are these certain moments in your life. You feel it really into the deepest depth of your bones and in the deepest depth of your soul. And you know that's the truth. And that was for me like this, that time.
I said to her: "Listen, if that is your wish, then we have to proceed. Then we have to divorce because that's my calling. I took my time to find out if it is really. I found out, and I'm 100% sure this is my calling, then we have to divorce." And we did.
We divorced. And I continued. But at that moment, after the divorce, three months later, she left the house with our child, and I came home. Those who have listened to the podcast, the very first one, know it already.
I came home and I was so sad because that was not what I wanted. On the other hand, it was what I needed to do because I wanted to help people. And I sat crying on the kitchen table.
Then this sentence came to my mind, right? This sentence says: "Everybody creates his own reality. Conscious or unconscious doesn't matter. Everybody creates his reality."
This sentence, with all the techniques I have learned and studied already, with all the psychology I had studied because I was studying applied psychology, suddenly...
how shall I say that...?
It was like something opened up within me and I saw suddenly systems and techniques, how you could do something. And I wrote it down and wrote it down and wrote more down. After felt hours, it was for sure shorter. But after feeling like writing it down for almost days, I had the rough script in my hands, what I call nowadays the self-transformation code.
I went with that to my that time mentor and said: "Listen, apply that to me. I want to see how it interacts with somebody."
So she did, and it was powerful. I suddenly had this blink-of-an-eye transformation again. So I took it and started to apply it to people to help them and applied it there. And they had in a blink-of-an-eye, transformation.
So I found finally, through all these pathways, which were actually devastating, first for me...
I found something that literally shifts people's fate, and that's the self-transformation code.
Esteban Baez
That's amazing. Can we get a little bit into the framework of the self-transformation code or is this something that takes way too long to explain?
Martin Altherr
Let's put it like this. If it would really go into it, then we are sitting for hours, and I would say even maybe a year because that's actually a complete education to get really into the details.
But to give a framework, yes, there is a possibility. And actually, if you look into the series of podcasts we did after my story, crack your code (episode #2), untangle your life map (episode #3), and manifest your genius (episode #4) are the three steps of the self-transformation code. This means if you crack your code, if you untangle your life map, then you are first able to manifest your genius. And then the fourth step, which is like the icing on the cake or the sauce, the topping on the ice cream, is stepping into spiritual consciousness (episode #5) because that opens the space to impact the whole environment where you are and the whole planet if you want.
Esteban Baez
Thank you, Martin, for that. Yeah, so I think we covered everything then for today. Is there anything else in closing before we close this episode that you want to share with our listeners, readers, and viewers?
Martin Altherr
The first thing to understand what this short Framework I just was talking about is...
is of course, to get shortly back to the second, the third and the fourth, and maybe the fifth episode just to get this Framework and understand because there we talk detailed about what it means to crack your code. What is behind there? What are imprints and how are imprints meant to impact your life and what is holding you back there, and how you can dissolve this.
Then systemic entanglements are the second step. What is actually in a family system rooted within you? You maybe don't even know what is holding you back and that there are possibilities, how to reveal that and so on, that you can get there in that third one and then in the fourth, what is meant by manifesting your genius?
Because when we hear genius, we talk about Einstein and all these very genius people. Yes, they were genius, and they were publicly very well known. And there is a big difference between being a genius and being publicly known as a genius because if you are a genius, you can be also a genius in your own area, in your family.
You can be already a genius. You can be a genius in your environment, you can be a genius in your region, you can be a genius in your country, and you can be a genius internationally or globally.
But that is more than knowledge, how much people you impact with your genius and not so much your genius.
Genius is always with every single human being. Every single human being owns his own genius and is specifically only this own person's genius.
My genius is the self-transformation code. My genius is applying it and helping already thousands of people with the self-transformation code shifting their fate.
I mean, if you hear shifting my fate... you might think that I am crazy. Yes, it sounds crazy. And yes, it's feasible.
Esteban Baez
And I like what you said earlier today, that transformation doesn't have to take years and decades. It can happen in a moment.
Martin Altherr
Absolutely. And the basic framework actually of a transformation is breakthroughs.
That is something we found out in the first stage because we had suddenly clients, who had massive transformations. And some they had transformations, but kind of okay transformations.
That was bothering me a lot until I studied all these reports I have written from each client and realized there is one thing they have all in common with those who had not-so-powerful transformations, they had fewer breakthroughs upfront.
So we started to build a pool where they could start in the waiting time because I had very quick a waiting list and we could bring them in a pool where they could have breakthroughs on a daily basis.
And when they came then to work with me, they were so empowered and then they had the same massive transformations in their lives.
Esteban Baez
